Canadian NEW MEDIA assertions “serious, damaging and irresponsible”: CTV VP to CRTC CTV Inc. says it’s unable to find any producers upset that the Groundbreaker Fund was used to fund the massively popular Canadian Idol television series, and says the show introduced several uniquely Canadian elements and new interactive features that fulfill the fund’s mandate.
